As a crucial part of the programme, our full-time teachers and teaching assistants will lead students to explore local societies and cultures. Our experiential learning courses introduce students to various aspects of Chinese society, including business, education, non-governmental organizations, popular culture, etc. In these courses, students get to intensively train their communication and analytical abilities in real-life situations, which will benefit them in the job market and their career development. In addition, our students can apply to the University’s many exchange programmes to spend time at academic institutions in China.
